Introduction a-Alkyl-a-amino acids constitute an important class of nonproteinogenic amino acids which has received a great deal of recent attenti0n. l Incorporation of these compounds into peptides results in conformational restrictions and increased rigidity, leading to enhanced resistance toward protease enzymes? and to the favoring of particular secondary structure^.^ In addition, the compounds themselves may act as enzyme ...
